Kheerat Panesar makes a deal that goes wrong, Gray Atkins threatens Whitney Dean and Stacey Slater makes an apology to Martin Fowler
A deal with the Mitchells causes trouble for Kheerat Panesar and his family in Monday’s episode of EastEnders (8.05 pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).
Kheerat Panesar and Vinny Panesar are in the Minute Mart talking about a potential deal with the Mitchell family when they spot someone trying to steal from the store. Kheerat's quick to intervene and warns the thief that he shouldn’t mess with the Panesars.
Despite Kheerat’s warning, the thief seems unconcerned. A frustrated Vinny tells his brother that their name means nothing around Albert Square. He insists to Kheerat that the only way they can protect their reputation is by joining up with the Mitchells, who have some clout in the area.
After arranging a meet up with Ben Mitchell, Kheerat and Vinny lay out their plan to go into partnership with him and his dad Phil Mitchell. Kheerat takes Ben to see wheeler dealer Stas, who has a proposal for them.
With Vinny standing by with cash for Stas, things aren’t going to plan, as Stas is angry with the Mitchells. He tells Ben he doesn’t trust him as his family has been bad-mouthing him and he wants his money back.
Vinny is on his way to the Arches with the money for Stas when he has an encounter with the thief from the Minute Mart…
